Hallmark Moment #182

Owen has been going thru a very Daddy-oriented period. No one can do anything quite as good as Daddy can. He has been John's literal shadow. In the bathroom, down in the basement. Out in the shed, in the kitchen..everywhere.

It was grating a bit on John (and me!~). Finally, John asked Owen

"Why is Daddy so special?"
Without missing a beat, Owen said "because you're my best friend"

All together now...Awwwwwwwwww....................

More of Why It's Good to be Owen...

Seeing a Live Bear Show:



Bumper Boat driving (and he knew how to drive it and squirt the water out!)



He got to look at this every day (multiple times~)



Just adore this picture-the real anticipation and excitement on his face is precious..



Who needs Pumpkins when you a Ham?

Y'know, the more I was looking at pics for this post, the more I thought about it. Yes, it is good to be Owen, but it is GREAT to be his mother.
*Eyeroll* But it's true!!

Out of the mouth of babes...

When: Tuesday morning, 7:30 am
Where: Home


John was still sleeping, and Owen and I were playing around in the livingroom. I told him to go into the bedroom, tell Daddy that you loved him, and it was time to wake up.
Owen padded into the bedroom, then came rushing back about 30 seconds later. This is the resulting conversation:

me: Did you tell Daddy that you love him?
Owen: yes.
me: Did you tell Daddy that it was time to wakey-wakey eggs and bacy?
Owen:yes
me: Well, what did he say?
Owen: He said...........He said........(the entire time he has his index finger up to his lips, looking at the ceiling) he said he wants a lollipop.

Couldn't help but laugh my tail off at that one!!
